Let me know how it is, Regina! It looks good. :)

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Yeah, that looks good Regina.

[Regina]

I just started it!

Yup, you predicted it. I can't stand her. She takes the easy way out every freaking time! And believe it or not, what made me utterly despise her wasn't (view spoiler)[that she slept with Bastian but the drug taking to solve a problem at work. Did she really need that? (hide spoiler)]

[Leea, Escape Artist]

I finished and it was really very good. One of my favorite book of the year. Just non-stop action and a different take on time travel. Sometimes you just luck out when grabbing books off Negalley - ha!

Now i'm going to read , I love the Colorado Mountain Series but I was not impressed with my last KA book, so this is my last hope. Excited to get back into the world of characters I love.

Happy Friday! I'm off to drinks with some girlfriends - can't wait!

Someone just mentioned to me another thread of a new announcement from GR. No more criticizing authors. Has anyone heard about this?

[Regina]

Yes. And no shelves that are about authors.

[Dee]

unless they are positive shelves...

[Ian]

I haven't heard it. I wonder at what point you become an author? I mean, I've written a few booklets on self defense strategies for women...I wonder if that makes me an author?

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

Wow... That's a grey area. A negative review is criticizing an author, to a degree. I mean, where the heck do they draw the line?? That pisses me off.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I just made my booklikes account (after complaining not too long ago that I wouldn't do it, haha). http://stacia.booklikes.com/

Haven't imported any books yet. It's been a bad migraine day, so I probably won't poke around much for at least a day or two.

Yes, I'm pissed about the announcement today.

[Marcella]

A lot of people are upset about it. It seemed a shady way for them to do it. What has happened to this site?

[Dee]

i'm checking out riffle books, but ehh...its hard to add books, you have to actually search by book title - author searches don't come up

[Gwennie, Mrs. Bookworm]

I love Goodreads, and I think that's what ticks me off about it. I haven't found another site that I like like this one.

[Leea, Escape Artist]

I didn't get the message... That still sucks. It feels like GR is trying to monitor how reviewers review. I mean, people tittle their shelves all kinds of things. Ticks me off. I wonder if these are some of the changes that Amazon now owning GR.

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I'm reading .

[Kay]

I found the goodreads changes: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

I just hope things don't drastically change too much around here b/c I love this place too. I also wonder how much Goodreads value readers vs. authors/business/$$/advertisements.

I will quote Stacia Kane again because she said it perfectly:

“Readers have the right to say whatever the fuck they want about a book. Period. They have that right. If they hate the book because the MC says the word “delicious” and the reader believes it’s the Devil’s word and only evil people use it, they can shout from the rooftops “This book is shit and don’t read it” if they want. If they want to write a review entirely about how much they hate the cover, they can if they want. If they want to make their review all about how their dog Foot Foot especially loved to pee on that particular book, they can.”
― Stacia Kane

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Love that quote. Thanks for the link.

[Ian]

Was just reading the new guidelines re authors. I'm actually not all that worried. I figure people will find ways to get around the rules.



My when hell freezes shelf is still there...I'll be curious to see how long it lasts.

[Kenzlei]

just finished loved it can't wait to read the next in the series now I just started

[D.G.]

I followed you, Stacia!

I'm very disappointed on this. Who told GR that they have the right to tell me what's important for me to make a decision on a book?

[Regina]

Booklikes is very slow loading today and yesterday I had over 30 follows, I am thinking a lot of GR people had the same idea yesterday and today. I hope booklikes responds to the demand, gets a new server and adds some forums. The problem with BL is that it isn't as interactive.

I'm interested in The Cowboy Takes a Bride, let me know how it is when you're finished.

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Yeah, i've been on Booklikes.com for a few months. I don't do much there but post my reviews but I think it's helping me with netgalley getting more arc's

PS. their site is so slow today... ugh!

[Tellulah]

I didn't get that notice nor the one that supposedly exists for new guidelines around author behaviour.

Readers have the right to think whatever they want about a book. People get to be smart enough to parse what they need and what works for them from a review free of restrictions.

I'd love it if everyone in cyberspace (and everywhere else) could be mutually respectful when engaging in debate.

And guidelines on either side make me nervous that we're heading down a slippery slope of censorship.

Glad you enjoyed the book. I love the series.

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I'm starting .

[Regina]

I finished it was decent. Good development. And great sex scenes. :) it is romantic suspense which I didn't anticipate. I gave it 3 stars.

I am at my son's soccer game and I just realized that my short is on inside out. So embarrassing.

Oh man, that's not good. Not sure why I think it's so funny, maybe because i've done that before. Hugs girl!

We had 2 games today, one we got the wrong time and missed (that sucked Garrett was upset) the second was called on account of lightning and lots of rain. After my SIL & BIL came out to our house and we drove all the way to the field.

It just came out, Leea. It was originally a November release, then an October one, and I think she just couldn't wait. So she released it. I love that Indie authors are able to cater to their readers. Lol

booklikes is SUPER slow right now, haha. Here's mine:

I'm so putting this book on my TBR list.

Sorry about your shirt. I've done that before.

I finished up Five Flavors of Dumb last night - this is def. going to be reviewed on my blog - I like finding books where disabilities aren't always cast in a negative light, the this is how it is type mentalitity - but you could feel piper's struggle at times

[Regina]

So I was wrong - above I said I read Monica McCarty and didn't like it, so not true! I read The Warrior and didn't like it -- the highlander + the double name with M fooled me. :)

It was surprisingly good, right? I liked it a lot.

[Leea, Escape Artist]

Finished and I was surpised at how much I did like it. the last few books were so bad for me and I don't know if things have changed with this book being published and the last few were her releasing them... Not sure. I know a few people DNF this. Just saying, something about this book was touching to me.

Now i'm going to try, , The male lead is a character I read in another story and I was curious about him. I hear this book has some heavy subject matter, not sure why i'm in the mood for that.

[Marcella]

I haven't finished the book yet Leea. Been a busy weekend. I'm about a third of the way through.

[Dee]

The Bone Season ebook became available for me from the library today - so i'll be starting that...between it and The Cuckoo's Calling - I have my hands full right now

LOL, love this picture.

[Angie Elle, BaBAMB!!!]

I've picked up again in an attempt to finish it.

[Peggyzbooksnmusic]

Finished and liked it. Will definitely be reading more books by her. Library has most of her books for Kindle.

Tomorrow am starting as a buddy read with Ladyhawk and Lisa. Really looking forward to this!

[Regina]

I just started the audio of

Actually scratch that, I am starting the audio of

[Ian]

Just started Cassie Scot: ParaNormal Detective(20% done). I thought a rating of 4.38 after 82 ratings was a pretty good sign. I was wrong. It's not bad, but 4.38? No way.

[Ian]

I'm not saying anything untoward is going on, but I kind of wonder how a book can get a rating like that...I was looking through the people who rated it high and they all seem genuine.
But nobody I've ever seen and I read a lot of books that fall into this genre. You'd think I'd see one or two of the usual faces.

[Leea, Escape Artist]

I finished and it was okay. Not sure what to read next?

[Marcella]

Finished . Loved it! KA redeemed herself after Ally's book.

[Lori]

Still winding my way through my stack of hard back books... I'm currently reading , which is a Sylvia Day (Bared to You); since this is a stand-alone book, I'm liking it. She seems to do a decent historical. It's evocative and fun so far.

Got so stuck on Sons of Anarchy, that I stopped reading for awhile - *gasp*!

Ian - saw that you finished . Seems as though you liked it, but that it's perhaps not your fav? Is that solely because of the set up for the 2nd book at the end?

Dee - See you have The Bone Season, too! Can't wait to hear what you think. I loved ! Much more than I expected to; figured with the hype because of JK Rowling and all... but it's a shame that the book didn't do well without her noteriety - it's that good.

Oddly enough, I can hardly remember it so it's probably not gonna go down as one of the greatest books ever. But I remember enjoying it...except the ending.
